my Adium Skype problem
When I try to let Adium connect to my Skype account, it says this after a while:

That was certainly checked before, and my combination of Adium and Skype was rather useful and in use for a couple of weeks, but I guess, my attempted upgrade to Skype-5 changed that. I am curious, whether Adium also works with Skype-5. (But I still don't like the Skype-5's huge profile icons.)

.properties - Java's Property Resource Bundles
.properties - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For Western Europeans it's quite comfortable to be able to edit .properties files in ISO-8859-1 aka Latin-1.
- The 1st German .properties file, that I came across, was actually written using '\u00HH' for the German umlauts, with HH being the hexadecimal digits of the Latin-1 encoding of the character.
I looked up the Wikipedia article on Unicode, and I learned that this is a perfectly legal encoding of the Latin-1 character set, i.e. the 1st 256 characters of Latin-1 and Unicode (resp. its "BMP") are the same. - ...

From www.greci.cc:
By default, MacOS X will create a .DS_Store file in every folder it accesses, while this is ok in OS X it may be annoying for network shares. To prevent the creation of .DS_Store files on network volumes execute this from a Terminal:

The SAXON XSLT and XQuery Processor
The SAXON XSLT and XQuery Processor
Downloaded Saxon-HE from the above URL on my Linux box, decided to go for the Java variant, installed saxonhe.jar and "the resources" into /usr/local/saxon-resources9-3.
I wasn't able to browse the documentation below saxon-resources9-3/doc with Chrome-10, so I use Firefox-3.6 for that.
But I also read the documentation here.
This is from "Getting started with Saxon on the Java platform", adapted for my Unix-like platform:
More command lines tries from there:
